BlindSquare is a widely used accessible GPS app specifically designed for individuals who are blind, deafblind, or partially sighted. This app provides a wealth of information about your surroundings to ensure safe and reliable travel both indoors and outdoors. By pairing with third-party navigation apps, BlindSquare delivers detailed points of interest and intersections, giving users a heightened sense of independence.

So, how does it work? BlindSquare utilizes your location to gather information about nearby places and landmarks from Foursquare and OpenStreetMap. Smart algorithms then determine the most relevant information for you, such as popular cafes, post offices, or libraries. Shake your device, and BlindSquare will provide audio updates on your current address, the nearest intersection, and nearby venues.

It will also track your destination and periodically announce the distance and direction you're heading. To suit your preferences, BlindSquare allows you to apply filters to focus on specific information and mark favorite places. You can save your favorite venues and locations in iCloud for consistent access across all your iOS devices.

Moreover, BlindSquare employs Acapela voices in multiple languages, offering an immersive hands-free experience. For social media enthusiasts, BlindSquare integrates with Foursquare, enabling check-ins by simply shaking your device. You can easily share your check-ins on Facebook and Twitter, or keep them private if desired.

BlindSquare is available in a variety of languages, including Arabic, Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, and Turkish.
